Kan een virtuele ervaring je iets laten voelen wat je anders nooit zou begrijpen? Virtual reality (VR) is al lang geen gimmick meer, maar een krachtig middel om je denken en voelen in beweging te brengen. Door je onder te dompelen in een zorgvuldig ontworpen virtuele situatie, kun je geconfronteerd worden met je eigen angsten, overtuigingen of blinde vlekken. Maar hoe werkt dat precies? En hoe doe je dat veilig? Luister naar VR-kunstenaar Silas Neumann en gedragswetenschapper Gero Lange. Virtual reality: technologie voor meer empathie? | Lezing en gesprek met gedragswetenschapper Gero Lange en VR-kunstenaar Silas Neumann Woensdag 1 oktober 2025 | 20.00 – 21.30 uur | Steigerzaal, de Lindenberg Radboud Reflects en kunst- en technologieprogramma van Lindenberg Cultuurhuis Lees het verslag: https://www.ru.nl/services/sport-cultuur-en-ontspanning/radboud-reflects/nieuws/virtual-reality-technologie-voor-meer-empathie-lezing-en-gesprek-met-gedragswetenschapper-gero-lange-en-vr-kunstenaar-silas-neumann Of bekijk de video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXEMdqamVOM&t=3617s Like deze podcast en abonneer je op dit kanaal.

I spend a lot of time in this episode telling you about Blippo+, the FMV art project originally on the Playdate console but now on Steam and Switch. It's not for everybody, but it might be for you... But first, we talk a little bit about my time with a (company owned) Meta Quest 3 VR headset, and why I'm still being a sucker and buying the Nintendo Switch Online's Virtual Boy plastic case. Atari has announced an Intellivision console that will actually ship - the Intellivision Spirit - with 45 games. No cartridge port, though. Then we talk to Rob about TRON: Ares (we haven't seen it yet) and the Intellivision Spirit.
In dieser Episode von Konsens 2 Go tauchen wir tief in die nostalgischen Erlebnisse der Kindheit ein! Von den bunten Abenteuern im Kindergarten, wo die ersten Freundschaften geknüpft und Sandburgen gebaut wurden, über den stolzen Milchdienst in der Grundschule, bei dem man sich wie ein kleiner Held fühlte, bis hin zur fieberhaften Jagd nach Pokémon-Karten auf dem Pausenhof – wir lassen die 90er und frühen 2000er lebendig werden. Doch die Reise endet nicht in der Vergangenheit: Wir beamen uns in die Zukunft und erkunden, wie Virtual Reality die Art und Weise revolutioniert, wie wir Erinnerungen neu erleben und ganz neue Welten erschaffen können. Zwischen Retro-Vibes und High-Tech diskutieren wir, wie Kindheitsträume und moderne Technologie aufeinandertreffen – mit viel Humor, Herz und einem Hauch von Pixel-Magie!
We cover the really mundane reason Monday's massive AWS outage shut down the internet, exposing an uncomfortable truth about how we've essentially put all our eggs in just three baskets: AWS, Google, and Microsoft. Closer to home, an AI-generated deepfake video showed an Irish election candidate withdrawing from the race, complete with a convincing fake Sharon Ní Bheoláin presenting it on RTÉ News. The question everyone's asking: who made it, and how do we stop this becoming the new normal? Plus, we'll look at why your driving licence is going digital by 2030.Plus, we'll be chatting with Grace Dinan of JunieXR about how live Augmented and Virtual Reality works on all our TV sports coverage.

Welkom terug bij Radio Raccoons! In deze aflevering duiken we opnieuw in de techscoops van de voorbije twee weken, en we starten onmiddellijk pikant met de ‘volwassenenmodus' voor ChatGPT. Daarnaast een nieuwe toolkit van Anthropic, ophef in de Vlaamse media vanwege de AI-muziek in de Brico en Carrefour en koopjes doen binnen ChatGPT. Ook bekijken we het nieuwe videogeneratiemodel van Google, en staan we in de deep dive met onze gastspreker ietsje langer stil bij de rol van artificiële intelligentie in het onderwijs.

In Part Two of my conversation, with Professor Jeremy Jamieson we explore the fascinating dynamics of stress and resilience, specifically emphasising the roles parents can play in helping their children grow up resilient and strong. We discuss the importance of fostering a positive relationship with stress and understanding the biological and psychological factors that play into this often misunderstood aspect of life. What You'll Learn: Understanding Stress: Discover how stress functions as a natural response and how it can be beneficial rather than detrimental. Challenge vs. Threat Mindsets: Learn why perceiving stress as a challenge rather than a threat can completely alter the physiological response. Parenting Techniques for Resilience: Get insights into how parents can prepare their children for life's challenges by encouraging them to tackle difficult situations head-on. Key Takeaways: Stress is Not the Enemy: Stress, when approached properly, can be a tool for growth and resilience rather than a harmful force. It’s about perception and management. Parents as Guides, Not Rescuers: Instead of removing obstacles for your children, teach them to navigate these challenges. Encourage them to be proactive and resilient. Develop a Toolbox for Stress Management: Different situations require different responses—having a flexible approach to managing stress is crucial. The Role of Physiology in Stress: Understanding and managing physiological responses through activities such as regular exercise, sleep hygiene, and possibly cold immersion sessions can help in dealing with stress effectively. Importance of a Healthy Lifestyle: Adequate sleep, nutrition, and limiting technology use can have profound impacts on mental health, influencing stress levels and resilience capacity. Resources Explore more about the extraordinary work at Mount Hope Family Center, which is helping children overcome trauma through innovative research on biological embedding.

“Giving learners options gives them a better learning experience. It's more holistic and more comprehensive,” says Sean Moloney, CEO and founder of EmbodyXR, an extended reality platform focused on the use of immersive technologies in medical education. In this eye-opening Raise the Line conversation, Moloney explains how AI-powered extended reality (XR) --which integrates augmented, virtual, and simulation-based environments -- allows learners to interact with patients, explore multiple diagnostic choices, and experience varied outcomes based on their decisions. The result, he notes, is not only stronger engagement in learning, but a measurable improvement in understanding. Despite these gains, Moloney is quick to point out that he sees these technologies as complements to traditional training, not substitutes for it. “We'll never replace in-person teaching,” he says, “but we can make learners even better.” Beyond training future clinicians, the EmbodyXR platform is also offering new modes of patient and caregiver education, such as augmented reality guidance for using medical devices at home. Join host Lindsey Smith as she explores how EmbodyXR achieves and maintains clinical accuracy, the connectivity it offers between headsets, personal computers and mobile devices, and other capabilities that are shaping the future of how healthcare professionals and patients will learn.

Let's get immersed in a high-tech virtual world with five fascinating fast facts about virtual reality, an interview with Dr Vanessa Moss, an astrophysicist who uses virtual reality to collaborate with other scientists, and an eye-opening binocular activity for you to try yourself at home. Presented by Jenny Lynch and Matilda Sercombe. Written and produced by Jenny Lynch. Music by Purple Planet Music. Sound effects by Pixabay. Creative Science: https://www.creativescience.com.au Facebook: @creativescienceaustralia Instagram: @creative_science_australia Episode content: 00:00 Introduction and fast facts 04:05 Interview with Dr Vanessa Moss 10:33 Dominant eye activity Virtual science exhibition, The Future of Meetings TFOMxCSIRO Exhibition Hall NOTE: This virtual space uses quite a lot of data (100MB). The space is compatible with Safari, Chrome and Edge browsers (partial support for Firefox). It is also accessible via the Spatial.io phone app or Oculus Quest 2 (VR). https://www.spatial.io/s/TFOMxCSIRO-Exhibition-Hall-64a1609a2e4f7d91d95a43bd?share=9027864886891104356 Dominant eye activity instructions: The hand you use for writing is your ‘dominant hand' and most of us are either left-hand dominant or right-hand dominant. A few people are ambidextrous, which means they can use one hand just as easily as the other. Did you know that you probably have a dominant eye as well as a dominant hand? Follow these steps to test which is your dominant eye. Stretch your arms out in front of you and use your fingers and thumbs to make a triangle shape that you can see through. Focus on an object in the distance and keep staring at it. Keep your arms stretched out, but slide your hands together to make the triangle smaller, while still looking at the distant object. Keep looking at the object, and close one of your eyes. If you can still see the object, the eye that is still open is your dominant eye. If you can't close one eye at a time by winking, try asking someone to help you by carefully covering one of your eyes with their hand. If you can't see the object, switch eyes, so the other eye is closed. If you can now see the object with your open eye, then this is your dominant eye. If it didn't work, try again, or maybe you are one of the few people who does not have a dominant eye. As well as testing for your dominant eye, this activity demonstrates how each of your eyes sees a slightly different picture of your surroundings. Virtual reality relies on this binocular vision to create realistic images of three-dimensional worlds.

Parents, today I want to give you a heads-up and issue a warning which I hope motivates you to track with the latest developments in digital technology and the way in which these developments might undermine the well-being of our kids. You're no doubt aware that Virtual Reality and the Metaverse here to stay and will be advancing quickly in the years to come. Based on the fact that online victimization of children and teens is a well-known reality in today's digital world, experts are now working to catch and address what victimization will look like in the metaverse and through virtual reality. Researchers at Florida Atlantic University has found that a significant percentage of teens who engage with these technologies have reported encountering hate speech, bullying, harassment, sexual harassment, grooming behaviors from predators, and unwanted exposure to violent or sexually explicit content. Parents, you are the gatekeepers. Always monitor use, educate for safety, and set limits.

Great music is worth more than we ever pay for it.
Two years. That's how long Evyatar David has been held in captivity, far from his family, his friends, and the music of his life. On this special episode of Some Future Day, we retrace the hours that changed everything, the search that hasn't stopped, and the quiet heroism of a family carrying hope through darkness.I had the honor of speaking with Evyatar's brother, Ilay David, who refuses to let the world look away. Ilay has turned the world upside down to rescue his beloved brother. But what have the United Nations, Red Cross, Bibi Netanyahu, and President Trump done to rescue the hostages? And why does it seem like President Trump has done the most for the hostages?On this two-year mark of his captivity, we remember the person. Not just the politics. Not just the headlines. Not just the antisemitism. And we explore what justice, compassion, and action look like now for Evyatar and for every hostage still waiting.Episode Links:Ilay on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ilayd97/Ilay on LinkedIn: https://il.linkedin.com/in/ilay-david-a09183258Website: https://bringevyatarhome.com/Bring Evyatar Home Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bring_evyatar_homeOrder Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok

This episode of ABA On Call features an engaging discussion with Jennifer Shahin and Nicole Lockerman, co-founders of Social Wise VR, a company pioneering the use of immersive virtual reality to teach social skills. Drawing from backgrounds in applied behavior analysis and education, the guests describe how outdated methods, such as worksheets and role-plays, often fail to generalize to real-life contexts. Social Wise VR addresses this challenge by providing realistic, actor-driven scenarios in controlled VR environments, allowing learners to safely practice social interactions, build confidence, and experience the natural consequences of different choices. The conversation explores the development journey, the integration of ABA principles and curriculum design, expansion into workplace and safety scenarios, and the future of VR and AR technologies in behavioral intervention. This dialogue highlights the potential of technology to bridge critical gaps in social skills training for individuals with autism and beyond.

While countries came together in the late 80s to fight money laundering and the financing of terrorism, technology and the advent of virtual currencies have further complicated the tracking of illicit financial flows across borders. Over $51 billion in cryptocurrency was used by criminals last year to circumvent traditional banking regulations. Chady El Khoury is an assistant general counsel and heads the Financial Integrity Group at the IMF. In this podcast, El Khoury says the anonymity of virtual currency transactions is supercharging the ability for criminals to grow their empires. Transcript: https://bit.ly/3KOjzeA

Guest: Dr. Grace Ahn, University of GeorgiaWhen a hurricane threatens, the most dangerous part often isn't the wind—it's the water. Storm surge can arrive fast, rise high, and turn familiar streets into life-threatening hazards. But what if you could experience that danger in a safe way, before it ever happens? Dr. Grace Ahn at the University of Georgia has developed Weather the Storm, a virtual reality experience that puts people inside a realistic hurricane scenario to show just how quickly conditions can turn deadly. By combining immersive visuals, sound, and storytelling, her work is helping coastal residents—and even emergency planners—understand the stakes and make better decisions when the next storm comes.Chapters00:00 Understanding the Threat of Hurricanes05:00 The Role of Virtual Reality in Risk Communication10:35 Experiencing the Simulation: A Deep Dive15:27 Reactions and Engagement: The Impact of VR20:46 Expanding the Reach: Community Involvement and Education25:43 Future Directions: Beyond Hurricanes30:18 The Power of Combined Communication MethodsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why are so many teens today collapsing under ordinary challenges?Things seem hard because we are soft. After decades of comfort, convenience, and ease, too many kids haven't been forged by healthy discomfort—so everyday life feels overwhelming.In this episode, Greg and Rachel Denning reveal why today's teens are unprepared to launch—and how parents can strategically build resilience, grit, and holistic toughness without becoming harsh or hard-hearted.Key Takeaways:✅ Use micro doses of discomfort—workouts, cold showers, chores, social reps—to build daily resilience✅ Plan macro doses of challenge—travel, service, treks, adventures—to forge lasting grit✅ Avoid raising “squishy kids” who collapse under stress, rejection, or discomfort✅ Teach kids emotional strength and sensitivity without raising entitled adults✅ Prepare your children to handle setbacks, stress, and even crisis with courageBottom line: If you don't add challenge, the world will—and it won't be gentle. Parents must be deliberate about raising strong, well-rounded kids who are ready to launch into adulthood with confidence.✨ Memorable Quotes

Could Simulation Theory be the key to uniting science and spirituality once and for all? Dr. Rizwan Virk (MIT professor, video game pioneer, and bestselling author of The Simulation Hypothesis) joins Mayim Bialik's Breakdown to explore whether we're living inside a computer simulation and why this idea may be the most important breakthrough of our time. From bridging ancient spiritual wisdom with modern quantum physics, to explaining life's glitches, suffering, and precognitive dreams, Dr. Virk unpacks why simulation theory could radically change the way we see reality. In this mind-bending podcast episode, Mayim & Jonathan dive into: - Why Rizwan Virk believes simulation theory is more spiritual than you think - The surprising connections between quantum physics, religion, and near-death experiences - The Virtual Reality moment that convinced Virk the simulation might be real - “Glitches in the Matrix” and the Mandela Effect - Are precognitive dreams & near-death experiences proof of the simulation? - Could aliens or future humans be running the simulation? - What's beyond the simulation? Are we about to be unplugged? Whether you're spiritual, scientific, religious, or just simulation-curious, this is the rabbit hole you've been waiting for.
